Design Tool Off Center on Trifold Invitations

So designing the  trifold  5x7 invitations -  If you plan on having something for each side you really need to adjust your  images or details so they actually center   and using the tool for each section this looks WAY off center - offset  placement zazzle tool.jpg

As you can see, in order for this to  look correct on the final product   within the tool it needs to adjust way off the center - I'm wondering  When or IF zazzle will place guide lines for the folds for the full side tool

If you enable guidelines you'll see the fold marks.

With regards to the first screenshot, can you link me to an example product where I can review this?

For my own future reference, here's a link to a tri-fold card: https://www.zazzle.com/256239193856261898

Thank you for the tip on the fold marks! and this  https://www.zazzle.com/dusty_plum_purple_tri_fold_invitation-256110758916575717  you can see the outside back middle is where I had to position the photo to actually make it centered.

The outside back has some space set aside for the attribution. You'll see this when you enable the guidelines - the green line doesn't extend to the bottom of the design. There's quite a bit of room set aside because we haven't had the chance to migrate this product over to the new attribution style (the QR code), so we visually set aside a bit more room to ensure that important information is kept above the line.

So yet another product that will have a shameful obtrusive advert on what typically is used for wedding and other occasion invitations?  Tsk tsk tsk..  really is not a professional choice imho.  ESP since the choice to Not have it there costs more $$. I never see this on other invitations sold by other companies.  I fear we will lose a good deal of business. ☹️

SO… Thinking about the “saved” space for this outside center. I decided to go ahead and center my design inside the green box and use the saved space for the “ attribution”.   Many designers who do weddings use this space for bride and groom photos.. IMG_0272.jpgIMG_0271.jpg

 

Not exactly a delightful look imho
